Monkeypox (MPX) virus is endemic in Africa. However, since May 2022, many cases have been reported worldwide in many non-endemic regions as well. The virus usually spreads from animals to humans or from humans to humans through respiratory droplets or after contact with infected lesions. In the recent outbreak of MPX, many cases did not have any travel history to endemic areas and were reported in men who have sex with men (MSM) along with the diagnosis of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, MPX is not yet considered a sexually transmitted infection (STI), even though a relationship between MPX and other STIs may exist with a possible facilitating action on their spreading...

AIMS: Mitiperstat (formerly AZD4831) is a novel selective myeloperoxidase inhibitor. Currently, no effective therapies target comorbidity-induced systemic inflammation, which may be a key mechanism underlying heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF/HFmrEF). Circulating neutrophils secrete myeloperoxidase, causing oxidative stress, microvascular endothelial dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte remodelling and diastolic dysfunction. Mitiperstat may therefore improve function of the heart and other organs, and ameliorate heart failure symptoms and exercise intolerance...

Poor aqueous solubility besides extensive hepatic first effect significantly decreases the oral absorption of levosulpiride, which in turn minimizes its therapeutic effectiveness. Niosomes have been extensively investigated as a transdermal vesicular nanocarrier to increase the delivery of low permeable compounds into and across the skin. This research work was to design, develop and optimize levosulpiride-loaded niosomal gel and to evaluate its prospects for transdermal delivery. The Box-Behnken design was used to optimize niosomes by analyzing the impact of three factors (cholesterol; X1 , Span 40; X2 , and sonication time; X3 ) on the responses (particle size, Y1 , and entrapment efficiency, Y2 )...

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) results from defects in the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into mature T lymphocytes, with additional lymphoid lineages affected in particular genotypes. In 2014, the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium published criteria for diagnosing SCID, which are now revised to incorporate contemporary approaches. Patients with typical SCID must have less than 0.05 × 109 autologous T cells/L on repetitive testing, with either pathogenic variant(s) in a SCID-associated gene, very low/undetectable T-cell receptor excision circles or less than 20% of CD4 T cells expressing naive markers, and/or transplacental maternally engrafted T cells...

Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor, causative agent of the ongoing seventh cholera pandemic, is native to the aquatic environment of the Ganges Delta, Bay of Bengal (GDBB). Recent studies traced pandemic strains to the GDBB and proposed global spread of cholera had occurred via intercontinental transmission. In the research presented here, NotI-digested genomic DNA extracted from V. cholerae O1 clinical and environmental strains isolated in Bangladesh during 2004-2014 was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)...
